Thanks Pete for all the help and for designing a great boat! My first real boat build other than a Dumas tunnel years ago.

Absolutely gorgeous! Nice graphics!! ....and you know I'm partial to that cowl. I think it looks great!
I'm glad you like the decals. They pay homage to the old MFG boat logo. Things in the 60's/70's were just so much cooler!
Hello James
I little motor cooling advice.
The water outlet from the motor going overboard, should be at the top of the rear of the motor. Highest point possible.

Where are you getting the Black Pearl boat kits? i have searching on the net, but have not found them. Want to build a hydro kit.
thanks Larry for the info
Thanks Ray I appreciate that! They are all separate decals. I started with white primer, then I did all the colors going light to dark (yellow first). Then I did the red metal flake pinstriping and dusted the blue with the same red metal flake for a purple metal flake effect. Then I put the decals on (they didnt want to separate from the backing or stick good at all so I wouldnt suggest buying decals from ThunderboatGraphics for a few reasons). I did a 'dust' coat of clear to seal the decals, then two full flow coats of clear over them. I was an aviation painter for 5 years at Parks Airport working on helicopters with news logos. I did this with spray cans. I hope this helps!
